Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mass of silver metal produced in the reaction and the masses of reactants and productleft after reaction completes are to be determined.
Concept introduction:
A balanced chemical equation follows the law of conservation of mass, which defines that the number of reactant and product atoms in a reaction must be equal.
Stoichiometry involves calculations of masses of reactants and products in a balanced chemical equation
Limiting reactant is the reactant thatis present in a lesser amount than required. It determines the amount of product formed in the reaction.
Excess reactant is the reactant that is present in excess than required by a balanced chemical equation.
The mass of water can be calculated by the expression:
